Retrospective NYC (continued)

So I thought I'd blogged about NYC but I'd only imagined it.  I need to work on keeping those things distinct in my mind lol.  (Reality and things I've just thought about.)  Currently I'm reading Stephen King's Dark Tower series - VERY good, must add him to people I hope have influenced me, because I hope he is - and I think that a character I've made up would be great to play the lead if they ever made it into a film.

Jess went down really well at The Bitter End on Sunday 4th .  They'd pegged her as good (a G by her name on the list) and even though she had to play on a borrowed guitar as always people loved her.  (Not at all jealous lol.)

We had an odd but cool night on Friday 2nd - we went to what we thought was an open mic at Staten Island, but was actually a bass guitarist, a really good one, who wanted some people to jam with.  He improvised a pretty good bassline to one of Jess's bluegrass songs.  I wished we could have worked out something with me reading out a story and him playing - I want to try to do some music/writing mix thing - but none of the stories I had seemed right and I couldn't work out how to do it.  Anyway he was an awesome guy. 

Other comments: we had amazing weather (I have a great tanline where my watch is).  And I thought The Rockerfeller (did I spell that right?  I think I'm confusing it with The Rockafella Skank...did I spell that right?) was a bit rubbish.  Just a shopping centre.  And we didn't go up to see the view because it was very expensive.

Oh and to anyone who wants to go to galleries, they pretty much all close on Mondays.  D'oh.
